who's carrying mid sized 45acp as their ccw and what is it

[NyleRN]

I'm going to 9mm and 45acp as my two handgun calibers. Doing away with 40 so I can shoot more at more reasonable cost. Since current ccw is a G23 and I'll be selling that, now I'll have to choose between 9 and 45 for ccw. I'm still a little skeptical of stopping power of 9mm despite bullet technology which has gotten a lot better. I'm thinking of sig p220 carry or p227 carry. Any advice on choice of weapon?

.45acp = 1911. Accept no substitutes.

 

[churchmouse]

Full size.

Unless it's a Glock, right CM??

 

[iChokePeople]

Yes. Full size (5") is "mid sized". More than a commander, less than a long slide.

CM is no jetgirl. He won't do that to JMB.

Not carry for sure. I did get "Caught" shooting Glumanz Glock at MCF&G much to my never ending embarrassment (Jagee you Biatch) as he posted up the pics.

Para Ordnance LTC here. Alloy frame andCommander length barrel. Easiest carrying full power handgun that I own.

and for the record, I didn't start the fire, I just stoke the coals every now and then

Do you like the LTC. We had some bad luck with the one we had.

I carried a full size 1911 for awhile, but it was too uncomfortable and I'm a medium size build, so it printed on me. I got a Springfield XD45compact. I got a good crossbreed holster and a thick belt. It is easy to conceal. A little heavy with a full mag, but it does the trick.

Hello... Glock 19... Hello... ???

Or get a 40/9mm conversion barrel for your Glock 23 and a few G19 mags.

 

[rockhopper46038]

1911 here.

The P227 is a big heavy pistol. If a 1911 government model is too heavy for you the P227 would be as well.

Look into a SA XDM 3.8 45acp. I have one and it works fine .

 

[Harley46982]

Full size 1911 here. (But in 10mm)

I've packed around a full size Hk usp45 a couple times and it wasn't too bad. The weight didn't bother me at all. It's just a big gun. I'm thinking along the lines of a 4" barrel and 8-10rd capacity. I've looked and fingered a G30s but I don't shoot glocks near as well as sigs or Hk. Never shot an M&P. I think it's striker fired pistol that don't like me

That is a Polymer framed gun. Very light compared to full metal frame gun.

P220 with Hogue grips (being a little bit fatter) fit your hand better. You can get a Carry conversion slide and then figure which one you like best. (Carry Slide or Full Slide)

Glock 30 here.
